Into Little Cottonwood Canyon

A break from honeymoon pics to pull out some from the ski trip before they get too stale. We met the OT's up there in January a few weeks after the honeymoon (a surprise birthday present!) and made leaps and bounds in our skiing. We returned to the great Little Cottonwood Canyon and spent all but one day at Alta.
The first day was overcast. Thomas and I braved the roads again (after getting stuck in a snowstorm last year--but that's another story) and headed up alone on our first day.
Up out of the valley into the forest.
Cottages higher up the mountain, past the first resort.
The tiny town of Alta.
Looking back down the canyon (with a shot of the ski bus).
Smog in the valley, pooled there by a set of meteorological conditions called inversion.
Makes you think, don't it?
